 |
| In a former thread, it was debated wheter The Beatles or The Velvet Underground has the most perfect catalog of albums. I want to expand this debate to include all artists of all time. Who do you think have the most perfect catalog of all time? |

I think The Rolling Stones, David Bowie & Tom Waits are strong contendors, of which Tom Waits is my personal favourite.

To me, there's a lot of medicore (if not bad) albums by The Rolling Stones and David Bowie: "Dirty Work", "Undercover", "Never Let Me Down", "Tonight" etc. I'm not that familiar with Tom Waits. |

| To me, the perfect catalog belongs to short lived bands. Artists who have been around for a long time will sooner or later start releasing medicore material. Just look at what the 80's did to the great names of rock music. |

Indeed, there is no such thing like an artist who has released 4+ albums with a 'perfect' catalog. I named some artists which have been pretty good throughout a whole lot of albums.

I can't think of anyoe. Hell, can't even give that to my five favourite bands/acts. The Beatles came close but they had Yellow Submarine and some of the early albums werne't that good, Bowie really sucked in the lare 80's, Queen had a couple of albums that werne't bad but werne't that good, The Human league utterly suck now and The Who didn't do that well after the first half of the 70's
I guess only short bands can have them. |
